Feature Request: Explain Plan

Ray007Apr 13 2021

It would be nice if I could put a query in and explain the plan for it.
My current work-around is to run this:

explain plan for

select something super special

from lots_of_tables

where something is awesome;

select * from table(dbms_xplan.display);

The problem is that the display is hard to read. Is there a way to set this to used a fixed width font in the results?

Hi Ray,
Sorry that the explain plan looks so bad in the output.
When the select output doesn't look good with our extension, the workaround I have been using is the SPOOL command. I find that the file output tends to be easier to read in some cases.
Can you please try adding:
spool c:\myfolder\myspoolfile.txt
